Chapter 452: Chapter 453: Master, I will see you off!
"Kill you? Master, are you sure?"
She had just become an apprentice, and still hadn’t started learning the sword skill.
The other party was asking her to kill them?
If she killed them, how would she learn the sword skill?
This left Bai Xue somewhat bewildered.
"I think you’ve noticed, Master is not in a good state," Xu Ye said solemnly.
"Yes, I did notice that Master is in a bad state, but has it really reached a point where you must die?" Bai Xue asked.
"It has indeed reached that point!
Before you all came, I was barely able to suppress the influence of the evil thought.
I could only close the gate to the Evil World to prevent evil souls from entering,
lest they increase the evil thought, making it unbearable for me and allowing it to control me, causing a catastrophe," Xu Ye replied with a serious expression.
"I have already made one mistake, and I cannot make another!
While I’m still clear-minded, I must tell you everything I need to, otherwise, if I lose consciousness again,
it would cause a great mistake, and such a mistake must not be made!
If I make it again, I will let down my master and disappoint the esteem of the former Realm Master," Xu Ye said intently.
Mistake?
"Master, what mistake are you talking about?" Bai Xue asked, puzzled.
Xu Ye’s eyes turned icy.
"A few days ago, a Heart Demon appeared in the Living Land.
It reminded me that years ago, a Heart Demon also appeared in the Dead Land and tried to escape.
Though I killed it!
Yet its appearance, where it used the Demon Technique,
caused the evil thought I was suppressing to suddenly strengthen, and at that time, for a brief moment, it controlled my body!
Even though it was only for a few breaths of time, I have no idea what happened during that period.
Thinking about it now, it certainly wasn’t a good thing.
For a being of my realm, the evil thought is very powerful!
Even in just one breath, it can accomplish a lot!
Once you refine my power, you must find a way to understand clearly,
what kind of mistake I committed!
If it can be corrected, it must be corrected!"
Bai Xue nodded thoughtfully.
"I will, Master!"
"Yes, the evil thought within me is trapped by me.
Once you control the power, don’t let it go, make sure to annihilate it.
Also, I definitely must die; if I don’t die, it will never be completely destroyed!"
After Xu Ye finished speaking, he placed his palm on Bai Xue’s Heavenly Spirit.
"First, I will transmit to you my cultivation technique, the sword skill, and the Sword Dao I have cultivated!
Comprehend it carefully!
This is my first time teaching you, and it is also the last time!
Go as far as you can." He condensed all his memories into a mark, sending them into Bai Xue’s mind.
With Xu Ye’s assistance, scene after scene flowed, and Bai Xue continuously fused with Xu Ye’s memories.
At the same time, she also began cultivating the sword skill Xu Ye taught her.
"My sword skill can only be invincible in the world, not in Heaven.
I have never reached the pinnacle, comparable to the Great Emperor’s realm!
Today I am transmitting my knowledge to you, use it well.
At the same time, you must pave your own way in the Sword Dao, and don’t fall headlong into my path!
Because my path is not the most correct one in my view!
Some parts have already strayed from what I intended!" he said.
Bai Xue didn’t respond, she was now deeply immersed in her cultivation, her mind unable to be distracted.
Seeing Bai Xue focused into her cultivation, the Soul Power condensed on Xu Ye’s body spread, merging into Bai Xue’s body.
The pure power allowed Bai Xue to take control, and it naturally circulated through her Circulation!
"Also, remember the rules of the Evil World, and pay attention to your own Heart Realm changes.
If you find something wrong with yourself,
you must immediately find a way to find a disciple to succeed you as the Guardian!
Don’t be like me!
Even though I knew something was off within myself, I was still confident I could suppress my Heart Realm.
It wasn’t until a while ago that I suddenly realized the mistakes of the past, and was shocked to find I had completely changed!
Not realizing it almost caused a great mistake, which would have destroyed the Evil World."
Xu Ye spoke while transmitting his power, as the white light on his body continuously transformed into power entering Bai Xue’s soul.
So much so that his large Physique continued to shrink, while Bai Xue’s Physique grew stronger and more solidified!
"I just remembered, influenced again by the evil thought, of the lies I’ve told!
Actually, every Guardian of the Evil World in each realm has died, killed by the next Guardian!
Because they were all affected by the evil thought, trapped in this cycle!
I considered my Heart Realm strong enough to escape, but in the end, it is the same result!
I stubbornly held on and didn’t seek a disciple.
It was actually because I feared death!
That was the reason my evil thought thrived!
I was wrong!
I let down my master, and disappointed the Realm Master who entrusted the Evil World to me!"
Xu Ye revealed an unknown truth; he had deceived Yang Yan regarding the disciple matter.
Now he spoke of the most genuine reason!
"Xu Ye, what are you doing, do you really want to die?
The Evil World is yours!
If you unleash your full power, refining the Evil World and gaining control,
even the Great Emperor couldn’t affect you.
You could ascend to the Immortal World..."
As Xu Ye’s power grew weaker, the evil thought, formed into a dark mist from the white light in his body, transformed uncontrollably into a face resembling Xu Ye, urgently calling out to him.
"Don’t attempt to influence me again!
You have influenced me far too many times!
This time I won’t make another mistake, I will take you with me, and we’ll die together!" Xu Ye said expressionlessly.
Seeing Xu Ye so determined, the face of the evil thought twisted and struggled within Xu Ye’s body.
"Let me out, Xu Ye, remember, I don’t want to die!
Let me out, hurry, let me out..."
It struggled endlessly but couldn’t escape Xu Ye’s sealed Physique.
"Evil thought, stop struggling!
This time, we will surely die together," Xu Ye said coldly.
He then strengthened the transmission of power, the Soul Power surging into Bai Xue’s body.
The white light on Bai Xue’s body shone brightly, making her appear like a Divine being.
"Ah..." the evil thought screamed, turning into a force violently striking Xu Ye’s body.
Thud!
A muffled sound echoed as Xu Ye exhausted his strength, unable to restrain the evil thought at last.
It broke through the restraints of his power and escaped.
"It’s too late, you can’t escape the Evil World!" Xu Ye said weakly, his soul dissipating.
Xu Ye’s evil thought transformed into a figure resembling Xu Ye, but appearing in a black form.
"Xu Ye, it’s true I can’t escape!
But don’t think I will die!
I may not be able to leave the Evil World now, but that doesn’t mean I can never leave."
"It’s useless, you will never leave, my disciple will kill you."
"Hahaha, a young girl?
You think she can kill me just because she has your power?
I could, with weakness, shake your Heart Realm.
Now that I am so strong, I can also shake her Heart Realm."
Xu Ye’s evil thought sneered coldly and charged at Bai Xue.
"I am unable to fully control your Physique, that’s because your cultivation was strong enough to resist me!
But her?
Having just received your transmission, she hasn’t yet fused all your power.
So young, her Heart Realm is naturally not as strong as yours!
So I can weaken her Heart Realm, then control everything of hers,
open the Evil World, and send me out."
At this moment, the Void fluctuated, and countless Fierce Beasts materialized.
Xu Ye’s evil thought was bitten by a ferocious beast while in midair, torn apart by dozens of beasts.
"No..."
Bai Xue opened her eyes, her gaze cold.
With a wave of her hand, the fierce beasts coagulated, forming a sword in her hand.
"Hating evil like an enemy, true words followed by action!
Good, good disciple, well done!" the weak Xu Ye acknowledged.
Bai Xue stood before Xu Ye, her eyeless gaze fixed on him.
"Master, I shall send you on your way!" she said as she raised the sword.
Xu Ye looked at her, slightly startled, then became resigned.
"Although the evil thought is vanquished, I remain.
It will rise again sooner or later!
Very well, kill me!"
He settled into a calm demeanor!
"Fortunately, even under the influence of the evil thought, you still answered the question,
satisfying me and solidifying my intent to take a disciple.
Seeing you control most of the power in just a short moment, I..."
Slash!
Before Xu Ye finished speaking, Bai Xue’s sword had already fallen, slaying Xu Ye.
The last bit of Soul Power he had was also absorbed by Bai Xue.
"You talk too much, it’s better if you go peacefully!" Bai Xue said indifferently.
Her gaze then turned towards the Dead Land.
"So many evil souls, it seems the Dead Land can’t destroy you all!
If that’s the case, I’ll personally send you off.
In the process, I’ll hone my sword skill, and refine the immense power I just acquired!"
Bai Xue wielded her sword and headed into the Dead Land.
Ripples surged within the Dead Land, and dark shadows fled into its depths.
Without a word, Bai Xue raised her sword and began her relentless pursuit into the depths.
"Where did this madwoman come from..." came a cry from inside the Dead Land.
Outside Life and Death City, within the Burying Mound.
Chen Yidao stopped the cart and turned his head.
Gazing at the old man who, having drunk too much, slept among the corpses on the cart,
his eyelid twitched, revealing a murderous intent.
"I really want to kill him right now!"
But remembering he hadn’t yet learned any sword skills, he calmed himself.
"I’ll let you live for two more days!"
He then picked up a shovel, shoveling soil onto the ground, and began digging a pit to bury the bodies.
At that moment, the old man lying drunk on the cart abruptly opened his eyes.
He propped himself up on the cart and slowly sat up.
"Xu Ye is dead, I’m finally free!
From now on, I am truly the number one blade in the world!
Hahaha, hahaha!"
